NEW YORK -- (Business Wire)
Today, Oath, a subsidiary of Verizon (NYSE, Nasdaq: VZ) announces the
launch of a global Board of Advisors comprised of some of the most
entrepreneurial, talented and socially influential leaders from multiple
industries including finance, sports, lifestyle, and news. Serena
Williams is the founding Chairwoman of Oath’s Board of Advisors and
will be joined by founding members Russell Wilson, Tamika Catchings,
Ciara, Chuck D, Rickie Fowler, Carla Harris, Karlie Kloss, Joey Logano,
Zac Posen, Abby Wambach and Regina Wilson.
"As we look toward the future of Oath, it is critical for us to have the
best minds, best talent, and best connectors in the world advising us on
being globally competitive," said Tim Armstrong, CEO Oath. "Oath's Board
of Advisors, led by Chairwoman Serena Williams, represents the
leadership, creativity, work ethic, and philanthropy we aspire to as a
company and they will help us make Oath a company unlike any other.”
Oath’s Board of Advisors is a diverse and talented group of innovative
leaders with a track record of building successful brands from the
ground up. Oath’s Board of Advisors are not only leaders in their chosen
professions, but have also built enterprises in passion areas of their
lives as well as philanthropic foundations. This remarkable group will
share their invaluable brand expertise with Oath leadership and have
access to Oath’s iconic brands, including HuffPost, Yahoo Finance, RYOT,
Tumblr, MAKERS, Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Lifestyle, as well as its global
user base to build content relevant to their passion issues. In
addition, Oath’s philanthropic and social impact arm, Oath
for Good, will work closely with each Advisor, providing significant
financial and volunteer contributions to the causeof their
choice. For example, Oath for Good is proud to support The William
Sisters Fund in its goal to connect residents affected by violence with
service providers at the Yetunde Price Resource Center (YPRC) in
Compton, CA, and Carla Harris in her efforts to empower underserved and
underrepresented communities through education.
“I am on a continuous mission to challenge myself and others to take big
risks,” said Serena Williams. “Serving as the Chairwoman of Oath’s Board
of Advisors allows me to bring to life my goal of standing for inclusion
-- whether for black people in tennis, women in Silicon Valley, or
creating clothes that fit every body type. I look forward to leading and
learning from this team, and helping as we work together to build brands
that ignite passion in people around the world. My oath is:
perseverance, determination, pioneer.”
